Although Jackson said the injury wasn’t serious and coach Andy Reid said Jackson’s right knee checked out OK, it wasn’t clear why Jackson needed the walking boot.

Jackson snapped from his slump to lead the team with 88 yards on six catches. He also had a 51-yard punt return—his longest of the year—to set up the Eagles’ first touchdown.

More information on Jackson should be available Monday afternoon. If for some reason he can’t play in Sunday’s home game against New England, the team would be without its top deep threat against a vulnerable pass defense.

The Eagles would also be in trouble if Jeremy Maclin, their leading receiver who missed the Giants game, isn’t back. Maclin was sidelined by shoulder and hamstring injuries but had made progress in the days leading up to the game.

There weren’t indications that Maclin would miss another game. Still, the team would benefit from having both explosive receivers healthy and ready for a potential shootout against the high-scoring Patriots.
